Multiple imports and organization tools for maximum efficiency

TaxACT's office management tools include Client Manager, a centralized location for managing all client information and returns, as well as customizable invoices. To help preparers obtain all the necessary information from clients, TaxACT's personalized data organizers can be given to clients, with 2013 data next to spaces for 2014 information.

TaxACT 2014 is updated with the latest tax laws, including Affordable Care Act changes. Preparers can enter client data directly into forms or use the Q&A interview to estimate federal and state taxes, and create year-end savings strategies for each client.

To assist clients who have purchased or plan to purchase health insurance from government-sponsored marketplaces, TaxACT 2014 includes ACA-related tax forms and guidance, plus a new reference guide for the new ACA tax forms and individual shared responsibility payment.
